What would you wish for if you were granted a new wish every day? That's the delightful situation five children face when they're evacuated during World War I and sent to live with an eccentric uncle and his very odd son in a moldering mansion by the sea. There they discover It (voiced by Eddie Izzard), an obliging but cranky sand fairy who makes their wishes come true. This 2004 adaptation of E. Nesbit's beloved classic features Freddie Highmore, Kenneth Branagh, and ZoŽ Wanamaker, as well as the film wizardry of the Jim Henson Creature Shop.
